Not Quite Ready for Surgery? Consider PDO Threads
Let’s face it—gravity doesn’t play fair. One day your cheeks look lifted and tight, and then suddenly, your jawline starts to soften, your brows look a little lower, and the mirror reflects a version of you that feels… a bit off.
But here’s the thing: not everyone wants to go under the knife. In fact, many of our clients at My Wellness Studio in Leesburg,FL come to us asking for real lift—but without downtime, drama, or looking like someone else.
That’s why PDO thread lifts have become one of our most requested treatments. They deliver just enough of a lift to restore shape, tighten the skin, and refresh your face—without surgery or filler overload.
If you’ve been searching for that in-between solution, keep reading. This might be the glow-up you didn’t know existed.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade sutures that are safely absorbed by the body over time. Originally used in heart surgeries, they’re now being used in aesthetics to lift, support, and rejuvenate sagging skin—no cutting involved.
These threads are inserted into the subdermal layer using a tiny cannula (basically a very fine tube), and once placed, they do two important things:
- Physically lift the tissue—especially along the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Trigger collagen production, which helps tighten and firm the skin long after the thread has dissolved.
And yes—they’re completely safe. PDO threads naturally dissolve within about 6 months, but the collagen they stimulate can last up to 18 months or more.
Why Leesburg, FL Clients Are Loving PDO Threads
Let’s be honest: we all want results, but we also want to keep it believable. Nobody’s trying to look 22 again—but we do want to look rested, lifted, and like our skin got its bounce back.
PDO thread lifts strike that perfect balance:
- No general anesthesia or surgery
- Minimal to no downtime
- Immediate lifting effect with continued improvement over time
- No change to facial expression or movement
- Customizable for each face and concern
Our clients love that they can tighten their jawline, lift their brows, and reduce sagging without committing to months of healing or walking around with obvious changes.
What Can PDO Threads Treat?
We can use threads to treat a wide range of concerns—especially in areas that tend to lose structure with time.
Some popular treatment areas include:
- Cheeks and mid-face sagging
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Jawline definition (hello, snatched look)
- Loose neck skin (“tech neck” lines, anyone?)
- Drooping brows or forehead laxity
- Crepey skin on the chest or décolletage
And here’s a fun bonus: PDO threads don’t just lift—they also improve skin quality, reduce fine lines, and firm up texture through natural collagen stimulation.
What Does the Treatment Feel Like?
Let me explain: it’s not a facial, but it’s not surgery either.
Before the treatment, we’ll walk you through everything and apply a local anesthetic to the treatment area. Most clients describe it as pressure and tugging, not pain.
Using a fine cannula, we place the threads beneath the skin and gently lift the tissue. Once they’re in place, the threads anchor the tissue upward and are trimmed to sit invisibly beneath the skin.
The entire process takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated.
Afterward, you may have some light swelling, tenderness, or mild bruising, but most clients return to their normal routine within 24–48 hours.
When Will I See Results with PDO Threads?
This is one of the coolest things about PDO thread lifts: you get both instant gratification and long-term results.
- Immediately after treatment: You’ll see a noticeable lift and smoother contours.
- Over the next 4–6 weeks: Collagen production kicks in, improving firmness and skin texture.
- Up to 6 months post-treatment: Threads dissolve, leaving behind a strengthened collagen matrix.
- Results last 12–18 months, depending on age, skin quality, and lifestyle.
It’s a glow-up that keeps giving—and the maintenance is totally up to you.
Who’s a Good Candidate for PDO Threads?
You don’t need to wait for significant sagging to get PDO threads. In fact, they work best for clients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to address:
- A softening jawline
- Flattening cheeks
- “Tired” eyes or brow descent
- Skin that’s lost elasticity but isn’t ready for surgery
It’s also a great choice for anyone avoiding filler or who’s looking for more structure without volume.
We’ve treated clients in their 30s who want to stay ahead of the aging curve, and others in their 50s and 60s looking to refresh their look without going full surgical.
